Kavalan Solist Manzanilla Cask Whisky

Kavalan Solist Manzanilla Cask is a single cask strength single malt whisky from the Kavalan distillery in Yilan, Taiwan. Part of the distillery's Solist range of single cask releases, it has been matured in casks that previously held Manzanilla, a dry, light style of sherry from Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

Bottled at 57.8% ABV, it shows a lighter, fruitier character than Kavalan's other sherry cask expressions. The nose leads with apples, pears and honeydew melon, followed by soft spice, cocoa, toffee and a lightly salted caramel. The palate is sweet and well balanced, with vanilla running through the middle and Kavalan's classic fruit in the form of orange, lemon and melon alongside mint and tarragon. The finish is sweet and long, with fruit fading to leafy herbs.
